What a nice format Mina. Serious, yet fun. Pro Football has needed a well produced show for decades. Clearly your guest respect you, and, stay within your format. No big overblown personality issues. Finally a fresh approach, and, alternative to the old worn out personalities that continue to kackle like old coots. Most shows depend on loud yelling, ridiculous howling, irritating over-talking, or embarrassing gimmicks. You'll never need six inch stelletos or out of place dress wear. Bravo! And of course you're a gorgeous, classy young lady. Plus! You know the game of football. Don't let the yuppie producers try to tweak your show. PLEASE!
True. She gets so much crap from misogynistic fans every day that assume she's a quota fill, that they completely miss how her knowledge and communication style is one of the best in the business. It's a shame that in traditional male jobs, women have to work extra hard just to be taken seriously, and even then a ton of people crap all over them.
Hahaha she’s just another media analyst. Just like any of the guys. They all do their job and then they start a podcast to make more money. That’s it I have nothing against her. I’m just saying male/female does not matter. They are all the same.
I keep coming back to 2 thoughts. 1. If AD Mitchell is on the board at 24 Jerry is phoning in the pick from the yacht (we saw with the CD lamb pick sometimes he just can’t help himself…) 2. Denver and Vegas seem like the ideal trade partners for Detroit (CB1) or Buffalo/KC (WR4) to move up with, then they sit at the back end of the first and could snag the 5th year option on a Nix/Penix.
For Matt's edification, the reason more teams don't trade picks for proven players is the salary cap. The way you keep your cap under control is by getting productivity out of players on their first contract. As analytics tend to show that there isn't alot of difference between the good drafting teams and the bad ones in terms of hit rate, the best teams are the ones that stockpile and use those picks. You'd be better off signing players via free agency or (even better) keeping your own good players. Yes, there are occasions when a big and bold trade for a veteran works spectacularly well. It's usually established team that are already good thanks to using the draft correctly. The Rams trading for Matt Stafford after they were already an NFC championship caliber team, or the Eagles trading for AJ Brown after they were already really good, etc. These teams had value to spare. Most teams don't.
Good top 10 predictions from Mina. But being that I am not much of a fan of Aaron Rodgers I hope the Jets do not end up with Bowers (or Odunze for that matter). However I'm afraid we'll need less QBs and OTs to go before 10 for that to happen. Or maybe the Falcons trade back with a team looking to draft Odunze or even Bowers.
Totally agree Mina on Odunze. No way does he get past 8. Teams will be ringing ATL if he’s still there. As a Bears fan, Eberflus D needs a 3Tec to bring it all together. MurphyII is a game wrecker. He’s undersized but can handle double teams easily.
Some team(s) are going to look so dumb giving up a bunch of draft capital to get JJ McCarthy instead of drafting Michael Penix Jr. This is another case of the best QB in the draft going to be the 5th QB taken again just like Lamar, Russell Wilson, etc.
I am a raiders fan. I would be happy with raiders taking Penix at 13 but I would be upset if they give up a second and 2 future first round picks to move up to get a qb like JJ who I think is on par with Penix .
I’ll never forget Matt millers last year at bleacher report when they streamed the draft. He got fooled by a fake pick that said amik Robertson to KC. He hated Sneed to KC and loved Robertson to raiders the next pick. Also comes from the southwest Missouri and is a fan of Texas and San Francisco?
It is called the Airraid not the runraid. Why are you all dismissing the Kingsbury-Longo-Maye connection? It is Peter decision and his decision only. He is going to go with a Football junkie with traditional traits. That is what he has done in the past and what he has done previously. I truly believe Maye has been the pick ever since Peters was hired. It is Peters show. That is why he came to here.
I want your opinion, given all the analysts heaping praise on JD and also on Maye to a lesser degree, whether that means there are offers on the table for WAS #2 or there will be offers on the clock that exceed what you normally would expect from the Rich Hill chart. In my opinion any team that could offer Washington a fantastic haul, and drafted Daniels, the hometown headline would be how successful that GM was, not that they had given Washington the farm, and their box office would be swamped with season ticket requests. Every channel is talking Washington sticking and picking, but logic dictates this is not what Eugene Shen is recommending if the haul exceeds a given threshold. Based on all the fan furor and the analyst furor over the "elite" QBs I think it is only logical the offers in this pick-auction will be magnified. I cannot recall any draft where this phenomenon is so GREAT and so it stands to reason that the HAUL will be the greatest ever for the #2. I would like you to look at the Rich Hill chart and estimate in points what you think the trade threshold should be for WAS. I would also like for you to take the teams NE, MIN, and NYG and with each team say what trade offer would change your mind about WAS trading down and you would trade down for. I think this is the type of exercise we need right now because if you ever watch a cattle auction, for example, every bidder establishes in their mind what point they will drop out. If Washington is going to wait until they are on the clock they have to have a list of what they would take from each team for the #2, so that they can quickly respond yes or no.
This analysis fails to account for several factors. For example, not every draft is the same. Therefore, missing an opportunity in this draft doesn't mean you can just shift it to next year's draft. Second, if we don't get a QB, it doesn't matter that we have a whole bunch of draft points that we can use on other positions. We'll still need a QB. Also, the clock is ticking on the timeline for coaches and other players to have success that depends on having a QB. We can't just keep kicking the can down the road building up draft value. The name of the game is not acquiring maximum draft value. It's winning games.
Per AD Mitchell not getting past Buffalo, I’ve been doing reading that Buffalo is doing HELLA work on Troy Franklin. Private workout and all that. I’d be willing to bet they take him over AD.
@@123shoshan Look I’m not arguing how reasonable it is I’m just saying, every year there’s a player or two in the last 5-7 picks that goes wayy over projection. And they’ve only met with Adonai at the combine from what I can see.
The over drafting of QB's is ridiculous. "Who knows when the Giants will be in position to get a QB" Uh...until they can stay healthy and acquire some offensive weapons, Every year. Outside opinion from a Raiders fan.
I don’t get why so many people are predicting Xavier Legette to Carolina? I think it shows that these “experts” are very LAZY because you’re connecting them simply because he’s a Carolina boy. My Panthers have FAILED at drafting “big body” WRs like Kelvin Benjamin, Dwayne Jarrett, Johnathan Mingo why do that with Keon Coleman or Xavier Legette? I think we’re more likely to take Ladd McConkey or trade Pick 33 for Tee Higgins, Brandon Aiyuk or Cortland Sutton than take another risk on a rookie “big body” WR
@@TigerNightmare I don’t taste ANY crow yet! Come back to me in 3 yrs and compare both Adonai Mitchell career & Xavier Legette careers. You’re running a victory lap before the race even began 😂😂😂😂😂
11 and 23 for 6 and 47 Giant and Vikings keep it simple. Giant have No WR and No Rb and no Oline. I mocked Alt getting to eleven every time the Giants took a QB. I also mocked McCarthy dropping to the Vikings at 11 alot. This is a gift for the Giants.
We move up 5 spots. They move up 23 spots and get two first round pick. LOL Fck em slam the phone and take two first rounders. Besides I am Sure Maye wil be gone by 3. I guess the Bears could take him but they probably scouted the other guys a lot more thinking Alt would be gone.
@@seangarner2687 Thats the thing. If the Chargers or cardinals don't take him before the Giants and Atlanta gets popped by the NFL. He will make 11. Even if he doesn't Olumuyiwa Fashanu, or the Organ Tackle are not far behind. Plus they get a top WR.
When are we going to realize WR is the most overrated position? DT was the last WR that was the primary receiving target on a Super Bowl winning team. Every one since then and about 85% of the Super Bowl winners since NE won their first has had either a SR and TE as their primary receiving target. Paying a WR a top 10 salary is like NBA teams giving Uberathletic slashing point guards max contracts. It’s flashy and cool, but usually means your sitting on the couch when it’s deep into the playoffs.
One big question that ALL shows avoid is; "Which of the top 3 QB's could loose the locker room before the season even starts due to off field antics?" It a critical point!
@@marcashe7781 lol. She gets so much hate on twitter. Was happy to see there was none here. Then I thought makes sense…why would a hater go out of their way to watch her here? My comment was my solution lol.

I really think this is gonna be a draft that will go down in history as one of the strongest from beginning to end. Even UDFAs could be impactful
mina‘s content is pure quality. we’re spoiled to get these hour long pods filled with so much substance every time

Agree 100%
I'm very excited to see how this draft pans out, the sheer amount of uncertainties are making for a great buildup to it. Great video.
I disagree with you on Drake Maye but I appreciate the amount of work you put into this.
I keep coming back to 2 thoughts.

I love how they were super skeptical about the reports of all the quarterbacks going high and six got drafted in the first round.

“If the guy didn’t have the most gorgeous house in Scottsdale” 😂 that was worth a like
The Colts trading up for Odunze would be sick imo. Pittman + Downs + Odunze would be one of the best WR rooms in the league.
My two favorite in sports, period.
I can't wait to see what the Bears do with 9th pick, can't miss.
"Do I have Odunze colored glasses?" while Rome is right there. :(
If Terrion Arnold is so good, how did the 2nd round Texas receivers abuse Arnold and McKinstry? And didn't the Tide play a lot of zone?
That top 10 was chalk as hell. Everyone has that order.
the value on 5th yr option needs to be considered..not just for Qb's but for Tackles, Wr's and Corners.......
JJ McCarthy is going to be a monumental bust.
Mina, sorry we took all your crushes in the draft. Would definitely your analysis and prospective.Gotta meet Lenny some time...Hmmm
Shedeur Sanders is 100% a player worth tanking for

Matt Goncalves is a mid-round OT prospect from Pitt.

I think Washington media have gotten strong indications it isn’t Maye.
It’s been Maye since they traded his best friend….
Mina is the best 🤌

Where is the fine on Atl’s “Tampering” going to effect this draft?
I could see Indy jumping up to 8 to grab Rome
